Underbar & Bar Sinks
An underbar bar sink is a stainless compartment sink built to drop into the run of cabinetry beneath a bar, giving bartenders a spot to rinse, wash, and drain glassware and tools right at the cocktail station. Most are one-, two-, three-, or four-compartment sinks with integral drainboards — a sloped landing beside the bowls where soiled glasses come in and clean ones drain — sized to fit between the ice bin, speed rail, and blender station. Choose by overall length to fit the underbar run, bowl location (center, left, or right) to line the wash bowls up with your workflow, and how many drainboards you need. All are NSF stainless for a wet, high-use station.
Compare underbar bar sinks by overall length, bowl location, and integral drainboards. Filter to what fits your underbar run and cocktail-station layout. These are NSF stainless underbar fixtures that rarely carry an online price, so cards read “check dealer pricing”; bowl size, drain size, and series are shown where the manufacturer publishes them.
Underbar bar sinks: buying guide
An underbar bar sink drops into the cabinetry beneath a bar so bartenders can rinse, wash, and drain glassware right at the station. The 116 models above filter by length, bowl location, and drainboards.
Length and compartments
Size the overall length to the underbar run you have, remembering it also has to hold the wash compartments and any drainboards. A three-compartment bar sink covers wash-rinse-sanitize the way your health code expects for manual glass washing.
Bowl location and drainboards
Bowl location (center, left, or right) lets you line the wash bowls up with your ice bin, speed rail, and blender station so the workflow reads left to right. Add a drainboard on the dirty-glass side, and a second on the clean side for glasses to drain.
Fit and code
These are NSF stainless underbar fixtures. Confirm the sink fits between your underbar equipment, and check whether your jurisdiction requires a separate hand sink at the bar in addition to the compartment sink.

Frequently asked questions
How many compartments does a bar sink need?
For manually washing glassware behind the bar, most codes expect a three-compartment sink (wash, rinse, sanitize), often with drainboards on each end. One- and two-compartment underbar sinks are used as dump sinks or for lighter stations — confirm what your jurisdiction requires.
What does bowl location mean on a bar sink?
It's where the wash compartment(s) sit within the unit — center, left, or right. Pick the location that lines the bowls up with your ice bin, speed rail, and blender station so glasses move smoothly through the station.
Do bar sinks come with drainboards?
Many do — a sloped stainless landing beside the bowls where soiled glasses come in and clean ones drain. Models here list zero, one, or two integral drainboards; a full cocktail station usually flanks the bowls with a drainboard on each side.
Where do your specs and prices come from?
Specifications are compiled from manufacturer spec sheets and authorized dealer listings; where a value isn’t published we leave it blank rather than guess. “Street price” is the lowest legitimate published price from an online dealer we track for that exact model — equipment only, and it changes often. Many models here have no published online price and show “check dealer pricing.”
Does this equipment need to be NSF listed?
Storage and dish-room equipment used in a commercial kitchen is generally expected to be NSF/ANSI listed for cleanable, food-safe construction — that’s what a health inspector checks on plan review. We don’t assert a listing for a specific model unless the manufacturer publishes it; confirm the exact model’s listing when you permit your kitchen.
About this data
Last verified: August 2026. Specs are compiled from manufacturer spec sheets and authorized dealer listings; where a value isn't published we leave it blank rather than guess.
Methodology: every bar sink model is compared on the same set of specifications, and dimensions are checked (for sinks, overall width must exceed the combined bowl widths) — figures that fail validation are corrected from the manufacturer model number or omitted. “Street price” is the lowest legitimate published price we've found and can change.
Sourcing: product specs come from the manufacturer; regulatory statements link to the source (e.g. the FDA Food Code and NSF). Code requirements vary by jurisdiction — confirm with the authority reviewing your plans.
